been doing this job for over 23 years, and to be on a set
where there are a bunch of people of color and women was
fantastic. It's pre y much been a white man's world that
I've operated in most of my career."
Taylor won the California On Location Award's (COLA)
"Location Manager of the Year – Studio Feature Film" a few
months ago for her work on A Wrinkle in Time. She credits
DuVernay's determination for the big change. "Ava came in
and said, 'This is going to be a very inclusive production,'"
she says. "The crew of A Wrinkle in Time looked like
Los Angeles. It was great to see women in all different
departments, especially operating cameras."
In this current #MeToo female empowerment moment,
many key jobs on Wrinkle were held by women. Jennifer Lee
wrote the screenplay. Naomi Shohan served as production
designer. Catherine Hand produced.
The movie itself is about teenager Meg Murry (Storm Reid),
who discovers a time warp. She and her younger brother
Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) and their pal Calvin
O'Keefe (Levi Miller) embark on a search through time and
space for her missing scientist father (Chris Pine). Three
magical beings guide them: Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey),
Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon) and Mrs. Who (Mindy
Kaling).
